Northwest Bay Brook.
Northwest Bay Brook drains north into Northwest Bay on Lake George — a small tributary system in the Brant Lake township that feeds the lake's northwest corner near the town of Bolton. The stream runs through mixed hardwood and hemlock cover in a relatively undeveloped drainage; no formal trail access or DEC-maintained sites, but it's the kind of feeder creek that occasionally shows up on local topo maps and gets fished by anglers who know the Northwest Bay shoreline. No fish species data on file, which typically means it hasn't been surveyed or stocked in recent decades. If you're launching at Northwest Bay public access, the brook mouth is worth noting as a landmark — but this is local-knowledge water, not a named destination.
Northwest Bay Brook has public access. Summits nearby include Middle Mountain and Beech Mountain.
